Gemstones. A wedding band is typically a seamless ring without any gemstones and designs, but there is not harm in adding one. A gemstone creates a dainty and delicate design. If you want to include a gemstone, think of how you will place it. Also, if the bride’s ring has a stone, it is not necessary for the grooms ring to sport one; it looks better plain. Speaking of possible gemstone choices, white diamonds are by far the most choice. Amethyst, turquoise, pearls and chocolate diamonds are other favorites for a wedding ring. When you buy a ring with a stone, choose one that has special meaning in your life. It could be a birth stone. Select one that is hard enough to withstand everyday wear.

Cut, color, clarity, and carat are the four important factors of diamond rings. From the cut of a diamond ring you can have a fair idea regarding the shape and proportion of the stone.

Color of the ring plays a vital role in its price. Diamonds of yellow, green, red, orange, blue, and pink color are generally costlier. Diamond rings in faint or pale color are the most desirable and but they are rare. While on your way to shop diamond wedding rings do not fall to the idea that diamonds are only white in color.
